Dysautonomia can cause tachycardia and low blood pressure. Saline infusions can help many people with that. So here is a brief explanation and example.
I have a quick question, im gonna start home infusions for pots and I wanna know if all pediatric patients get a portable pump? just wanna ask because I know you get saline infusions too :p
Lali Shops We tried medication first to bring my heart rate down but it made my already low blood pressure tank out and I wound up hurt. We had noticed that anytime I was connected to IV fluids during hospital admissions my heart rate was in the 80s vs 100s. At that time I was still trying to get control of my health issues and so we decided instead of messing with more med we'd place a port and start fluids. It wasn't a decision we took likely because my immune system in highly compromised making my chances of getting an infection higher.
Lali Shops if I choose not to run fluids one night I do feel more fatigued. I can't guarantee it will help tremendously but it is a noticeable difference, which could just be due to my hr being significantly lower.

Dear how do the doctors determine you can have IV treatment at home?

Thank you for answering so much. Is this good for fatigue? I'm currently bed bound.
